ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury

Lights and visibility
cooled down, the window can be operated
once again.
Roll-back function on electric
windows
The electric windows are equipped with a
roll-back system that reduces risk of injury
when closing windows.
If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
nism will stop and the window will roll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next
10 seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force
.
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-
back function will be once again connected. Lights and visibility
Lights Introduction The location of the controls of
right-hand
drive cars differs slightly from the location
sho wn her
e ››› Fig. 45 ››› page 61. However,
the symbols indicating the respective posi-
tions of the controls remain the same. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The
side lights are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you. Always use
your dipped beam headlights if it is dark or if
visibility is poor. CAUTION
● Use the lights in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsi-
ble for correctly adjusting and using the
lights. Note
● An audible warning will be heard when the
light control is set to  and you remove the
ignition k ey

and open the door. Once the
driver door is closed (ignition off), the audi-
ble warning will stop, whereas the side lights will remain on to light up the stationary vehi-
cle in case this is necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the lights may mist up temporarily on
the inside. This is particularly the case in the
event of a difference in temperature between
the inside and in front of the light. By switch-
ing on the lights, the area through which the
beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted, although the edges may remain
misted. The real lights and turn signals can
mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. Sidelight and headlight
